I’m a self-proclaimed introvert and have been for many years. I’m an introvert mostly due to the fact that I feel drained after spending time with other people and I need time to recharge after interactions. I’m not an introvert because I don’t like people and I’d rather be alone.
In the last couple of years I’ve felt like my introvertedness was a weakness, that I was the problem. Parties were draining because I couldn’t push myself to be more social. People didn’t want to hang out with me because I’m not fun or outgoing.
But more recently I’ve come to realize that not everyone I spend my time with will drain my social battery. Maybe when I go to certain social events and feel tired, it’s because the people there are the problem. They’re unaccepting of me and just make me feel uncomfortable.
I feel like I’ve been trying to be someone I’m not for so long just to please people and make up for the fact that I’m an introvert. But the right people in your life won’t make you feel any less than you are.

I know exactly how you feel, Rosie 👍! For years I felt like I had to be a certain way for certain people. But as I’ve gotten older, I have come to realize what a complete waste of time it is to be with people who are not going to truly accept me.

That’s how I am, I don’t talk a lot and sometimes I just stay alone my Mom in the other hand thinks that I don’t like people. When am alone I can think clearly.

I resonate with this post! But no matter how many time I try to surround myself with good people it blows up in my face. It’s a struggle out there! Just know you are not alone! 🤗
